There Are Monsters is a short film about a quiet Canadian town where strange things are happening. It includes encounters with a Creepy Child hanging out in the main characters' backyard (the page image) and a very friendly convenience store clerk with bloody fingers and a Nightmare Face smile. Makes frequent use of Nothing Is Scarier and is considered by many to be High Octane Nightmare Fuel.
The whole thing is available on YouTube. If you do check it out, please add to this page if possible.
Tropes used in There Are Monsters include:
- Body Snatcher: Or something.
- Breather Episode: More like a breather few minutes.
- Canada, Eh?: The setting. Averted insofar as lack of stereotypical Canadianisms such as "aboot", or the ubiquitous (and trope-title-inspiring) "eh?"
- Cheshire Cat Grin: In the scariest way possible.
- Cluster F-Bomb: "Jesus fuck! Who the fuck are you!?"
- May also qualify as Narm.
- Creepy Child
- Infant Immortality: Subverted. It's implied that the kids who were messing around in the convenience store were killed/eaten/possessed/whatever.
- Jump Scare: And how!
- Nightmare Face: Twice, not counting the Cheshire Cat Grin face.
- Nothing Is Scarier: It's never made clear exactly what the monsters are doing to the humans they attack, which leaves us a nice blank spot to mentally fill with the worst shit we can imagine.
- POV Cam
- Title Drop: "I remember thinking, 'There are monsters. They are coming to get me.'"
